ABOUT THE MISSING DUCATsa
The Horn Silver Trouble

New YORK, September pa meeting
of the stockholders of the Horn Silver
Mining Company was held here to-day,
on call by Allen c. Washington and
Alexander G. Simmons. Mr.. Washing
ton stated that tae object of the meet
ing was to secure a sufficient number
of proxies to be used in the election
for directors to be held at
Frisco, Utah, October 4th, to secure
the choice of such men as
would Gust the present management
of $4,000 shares held in England
Proxies for 10000 had been mailed to
Mr.. Washington. In explaining why it
would be best to change the manage
ment, Mr.. Simmons said that the stock
was divided into 100000 shares of the
par value OF $25; they were quoted now
at 70 cents. In 1884, President Franck-
Ign issued call loan for $184 600, which
had been increased until now it
amounted TO 1863 900. Statements as to
what had become of this money
have invariably been refused, as was
also one as to why the mine, which
had been valuable, had become ap.
parently worthless. In order to obtain
this information, it was necessary for
an investigation of the books and
mine to be made, but this would not
be allowed by the present management.
A ter the meeting Messrs. Washington
and Simmons claimed that they would
have sufficient proxies by Monday
night, when they will leave for Frisco.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1887-09-24

ness said the money had been used in
"stumping" two counties to prevent
opposition to the railroad company.
There was no attempt to buy voters
then or any other time.
General John G. Fremont took the
stand. He said General Ewing and
others paid S203 600 for the Leaven-
worth, Pawnee & Western Railroad in
1866. There was scarcely any construc-
ton there. In 1864 the general re-
tired, receiving about what he paid. He
never had any hand in buying votes.
At his own request, General Thomas
Ewing then took the stand and made a
lengthy statement respecting his con-
nection with the Leavenworth, Pawnee
& Western Railway. and es
pecially in reference to Ger
tain contracts alleged to have
been made in aid of the passage of the
Fl st Pacific Railroad law. He was con-
nected with the roads as a director
about one year, but never had any
active part in its management. What
few contracts he had any knowledge OF
were made in consideration of legiti-
mate services. Of any others, he had
no knowledge whatever.

Death and Destruction

BROWNSVILLE, Tex, September % -
The telegraph several days ago gave
notice of a hurricane in southwest
Havana and moving this way, and for
two or three days the weather indica-
tons showed the appoach of the storm.
Though the barometer and the. tide in
the gulf gave warning of the coming
bad weather, this storm gave no notice
of its immediate approach. At 9 o'clock
Tuesday evening, the northeast wind,
which had been blowing for several
days, increased IN force with heavy
gusts of rain. In short time hurrI-
cane was on the town in full force, the
wind reaching in the heighth of the
storm a velocity of seventy-eight miles
an hour.
All night long it continued, its howl.
ing being mingled now and then with a
crash of falling houses, the sound of
falling trees, the rafting of fences as
they went over, or the shouts of those
deserving their homes or imploring aid.
Morning dawned on scene of desola-
ton. Water filed the streets, through
N
the rain like great volleys of small shot
fences, all half submerged in water,
rendering passage difficult and dan
gerous. AT 2.3U pm. the wind lulled,
and there was almost dead calm. The
wind arose at intervals, but was not
severe until this morning, when it
ceased. The duration of the storm may
be said to be thlrty-fve hours. The
rainfall was very heavy-10. 40 inches.
The damage in the country outside of
the two clues is incalculable. Thous-
! ands of head of cattle and sheep have
been lost and the crops of cotton,
corn and sugar cane were completely
Frustrated and destroyed. One rancher
on small place calculates his loss in
cotton at $4,000, and many others are
equally heavy losers. The total of the
losses will not be far from 81 900, 600.
Between sixty and eighty of the cheaper
class of dwellings have been blown
down and fully 300 have been partially
unroofed and, rendered unhabitable.
The telegraph wire from Point
Isabelle is down and it is not
known how things are there. There
is great suffering among the poor, many
of whom are without resources. The
river IS again very nlgn, anu Overflow
ing its banks.
In Matamoras, the narrow streets
during the storm were seas of water,
from the ankle nearly to the hip deep
Even in the more central parts of the
town, the streets are all encnmbered
with debris. In the city, about = dozen
houses of the better class and fully $50
OF 200 jackalls were Frustrated, while
from 400 to 500 were unroofed or shat
tered. The public buildings and stores
and the better class of dwellings leaked
like sleeves, and are afloat.
The unfortunate Lagoon district
south of Plaza Del CapilIa is again in
undated. Large portions of the houses
have fallen. From II o'clock Tuesday
night to noon yesterday, the police,
military and many citizens were en-
gagged in saving the inhabitants and
their effects. Suffering in the town and
country is generally severe.

Important Land Decision.

WASHINGTON, D. O., September 3d.
In the case of 1. Brown VS.. the Central
Pacific Railway Company, on an appeal
from the decision of the Commissioner
General of the Land Office, rejecting the
latters claim to the west half of the
northeast quarter and west half of the
southeast quarter of the same section in
the Sacramento, California, land dis
trict, Acting Secretary Muldrow to-day
reversed the previous decision, holding
that settlement on one part of the quar-
ter section by qualified pre- emption
would not except from railroad grant
any part of another quarter section not
occupied by paid pre-emption and
claimed by him.

SAN Francisco, September 23.-The
Chinese residents of this city had re-

weapons incident to the parade were
brought from China especially for this
occasion. There were 1000 Cinnamon
in line. and numerous Chinese women
on richly caparisoned horses, the en-

color. The women wore long silk
gowns. and at their sides walked
attendants holding high overhead ban

long gilt maces deliberately carved,
swords or spears around whose points
were coiled gilt lizards, snakes and
flaming dragons. A number Of tall

CHICAGO, September 25.-Lucy Par
sons, wife of the condemned Anarchist,
was arrested this afternoon. The
charge against her is violating the city
ordinance, prohibiting the distribution
of handbills on the streets. She was
requested by the officer to desist, but
she refused, replying that she was
amenable to the laws. A great crowd
followed the policeman and his pris-
oner to the station. Ther she offered
her circular to everyone. not excepting
Police Captain O'Donnell. Continuing
to refuse to stop distributing the cir
culars, she was locked up. The penalty
for the offense is a fine of not less than
SIS nor more than SIS. The circulars
were copies of Parsons address to the
public, published in yesterdays papers.

NEW YORK, September 23.-Pathfnder
General John G. Fremont was prom
inent figure at to-day's meeting of the
Pacific Railroad Commission. He had
been subpenaed at his New Jersey
home by Sergeant-at-Arms Walsh and

General Grant telegrapheJ to the COM
pany that government would do any
thing to facilitate the expedition of the
work. The general thought the road

called. He was appointed assistant
solicitor TO the Union Pacific for
Nebraska in 1875. Before his regular ap-
pointment, he had done service for the
company in assisting to have recons;d-
cred by the Nebraska legislature a bill

Rear-AdmlraI Luce Withdraws His
Resignation.

WASHINGTON. September 23.-The
trouble which Rear-Admiral Luce got
into with the Navy Department while
in Canadian waters is brought up again
by official correspondence made public
tonight. The episode led to the tender
of his resignation by Admiral Luce.
Subsequently the admiral had an inter
view with Secretary Whitney, in which
matters were explained and the
correspondence is the result of
this interview in an Official
form. A communica ton from
the secretary first informed the admiral
that in making public his queries and
answers, he was going outside the line
of his duties and prejudicing the case of
government. To this the admiral re-
piled that it was unintentional and ex-
pressed willingness 10 withdraw his
resignation if the secretary desired it.
The correspondence closes with the
secretary's reply desiring the admiral
to retain his command and commend
ing his handling of the squadron.

from Stockbridge last night. He will
remain in the city but day or two and
will not during his STAY assume the
formal duties of his office. When

Removing Serious Obstruction
Gently.

Dynamite and giant powder might
answer admirably to remove obstruc-
tons from He'll Gate in East River,
New York, but explosive measures in
medication are ever attended with dis
astrous consequences. For instance,
the bowels cannot be violently drenched
with safety, nor is there the slightest
necessity for so doing. On the contrary.
it is most unwise. None but the pur-
blind adherents of antiquated theories
in medicine advise or sanction such a
course. To weaken the intestines-the
effect of drastic purgation-is to com
promise the health OF the entire
system. With Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters, on the other hand, the bowels
are relaxed, not by a CONFUSION of
nature approximatlng to an eruption of
Mt. Popocatapeti, but gradually
beneficially, without wrenchiDg or
drenching. The liver and stomach, as
well as the bowels. are toned and bepe-
fitted by it.

What Am I To Do?

The symptoms of Biliousness are un-
happily but too we'll known. They
differ in different individuals to some
extent. A Bilious man is seldom q
breakfast eater. Too frequently, alas,
he has an excellent appetite for liquids
but none for solids of a morning. His
tongue will hardly bean inspection at
any time; if it is not white and turred,
it is rough, at all events.
The digestive system is wholly out of
order and Diarrbea or Constipation
may be a symptom or the two may
alternate. There are often Hemorr-
holds or even loss of blood. There NAV
be giddiness and often headache and
acidity or f1atulence and tenderness in
the pit of the stomach. To correct all
this if not effect a cure try GREEN'S
august FLOlOer; it costs but trife and
thousands attest its efficacy.
